  "account": "The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Mahila Morcha staged a protest outside the Congress headquarters in Delhi on Monday, demanding immediate action against Inner Manipur MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam. Akoijam was previously sacked from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) over allegations of sexual harassment towards 11 female students. The protesters, led by Mahila Morcha President Roopkumari Choudhary, formed a 'Nari Shakti Hunkar Andolan' and called for the accused MP to be handed over to the police.\n\nChoudhary criticized the Congress party leadership, stating that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and the party were \"ashamed\" for allegedly protecting an MP involved in the alleged \"sexual misconduct\" known as \"#SexforMarks\". She accused the Congress of hypocrisy, alleging that their rhetoric on women's rights is a \"sham\" and that their mindset is anti-women. Choudhary also demanded an impartial investigation into the allegations and called for accountability and justice for the young students involved.\n\nThe BJP's women's wing emphasized the contrast between the Congress's \"rhetoric on women's rights\" and Rahul Gandhi's assertions of smashing patriarchy, highlighting their perceived lack of action. If the students do not receive justice, the party promised to once again take their protest to the streets.",
